Doran Kelly, a 48-year-old African American supervisor at Cedar Gate Technologies in Houston, was shot and killed at his workplace at Twenty Greenway Plaza on March 16, 2022. Colleagues and family described him as kind and patient; his family called him a loving husband, devoted father and a son who checked on his parents daily.

Witnesses say an employee, 26-year-old Montavius Wright, shot Kelly in the head inside the office building. Wright was arrested at his apartment complex the same day and later appeared in court charged with murder; his bond was set at $500,000. Reports say Wright had no prior criminal history and that the motive remains unclear.

Kelly’s death has drawn attention from law enforcement and the community, and his family has been vocal about their grief and the sudden loss. If anyone who worked at Cedar Gate Technologies or was at Twenty Greenway Plaza that day has information, please come forward.
